As Vic has pointed out, an issue has come up on the struts-user list concerning the struts-examples application - it doesn't run locally, without a connection to the outside world.
Seems that when the struts-exercise-taglib.war was refactored into struts-examples.war the DOCTYPE was changed from PUBLIC to SYSTEM for the web.xml and struts-config.xml files. I have committed changes to correct this and it seems to me that we need to include this fix in the Struts 1.2.3 release. I have also committed a patch for Bug 31060 with the reasoning that if we need to re-create the 1.2.3 release then we should also take the opportunity to fix this bug as well: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31060 The reason I'm keen for this to be included is that the getErrors() method (which was added in Struts 1.2.1) returns an ActionErrors object - this will create backward compatibility problems for users in the future if we change it to an ActionMessages object. As its only the return type that needs changing, we qwouldn't be able to simply deprecate and add a new version of the method. Seems to me that as it was added in Struts 1.2.1 and therefore isn't part of a GA release of Struts the best thing is to simply change the method now (along with the new saveErrors() method also added in Struts 1.2.1).
